Title: Heat and light reflecting spandrel
IPC: C03C17/34
Filed: 1973-09-21
Abstract: 1443532 Enamel-coated glass PPG INDUSTRIES Inc 21 Sept 1973 [22 Sept 1972] 44401/73 Heading C1M [Also in Divisions G2 and E1] A reflective panel 1 comprises a visibly transparent substrate 7, e.g. glass, a visibly transparent reflective coating 8 on one surface and a substantially opaque reflective coating 9 on the other surface coating 9 having a reflective dominant wavelength substantially equal to the transmitted dominant wavelength of the substrate in combination with coating 8. A building structural member 5 carries a floor 6 and mounting 4 supporting a glazing frame 3 of a curtain wall with a transparent room window 2 and a reflective spandrel 1 hiding the floor and ceiling structure. The substrate 7 and window glass 10 are coated at 11 with a metal or metal oxide which may have a protective silica coating, the transparent reflective metal coating preferably being oxides of tin, chromium titanium, iron, silica, aluminium nickel, lead, copper, zinc, vanadium, tungsten, tantalum and cobalt. Opaque reflective coating 9 is preferably a ceramic enamel, e.g. lead borosilicate glass frit and with an expansion coefficient less than that of the substrate. Other enamels are described on window 10 external ray 14 is part reflected off coating 11 at 15 and glass 10 at 17 and the part which is transmitted at 16 is characterized by the dominant wavelength. Internal light 18 is part reflected and part transmitted at 20. Light 20 striking the spandrel is reflected at 21 off the coating 8 and transmitted and reflected off the coating 9 to 22, the latter having a dominant wavelength corresponding to 16 and 20. Thus the colour apparent for reflection and internal light transmission of the window due to light 15, 17, 20 closely matches or harmonizes with the colour coming from the spandrel. Coating 9 also reflects infra red energy to prevent heat build up in the spandrel areas.

Title: Logic storage circuit arrangement
IPC: G11C11/411
Filed: 1969-09-09
Abstract: 1286108 Transistor bi-stable circuits PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 9 Sept 1969 [12 Sept 1968] 44485/69 Heading H3T The outputs of a master bi-stable using for example transistors 11, 12 are fed to a slave bistable using for example transistors 24, 25, the master bi-stable being controlled by logic signals at 35, 39 and being provided with means such as a pulsed power supply whereby it normally assumes a third non-active state, in which for example both transistors are non-conductive. The supply to T11, T12 is pulsed by clock pulses which turn off a normally on transistor T20 so that line 60 may rise in potential allowing T11 or T12 to conduct. Gating transistors 34, 38 receive J, K inputs from 35, 39 and have their bases controlled by the Q, Q outputs at 32, 33 of the slave. Assuming the J, K inputs to be more positive for a " 0 " and less positive for a " 1 ", the operation is as follows: for J0, K0, neither of T34, T38 can have its emitter base forward biased, but whichever of Q or Q is 0 causes the base-collector diode of T34 or T38 to conduct, supplying a positive potential to the associated base of T11, T12 and so turning it on. The other of T11, T12 will be off supplying a positive potential to the base of T42 or T44 so turning it on to prevent either T24 or T25 of the slave from conducting, the result being no change in the Q, Q states. If J1, K1, then whichever of Q or Q is 0 turns on the associated gating transistor T34 or T38 so causing the master to reset the slave. If J1, K0 or J0, K1 then only one of the gating transistors T34, T38 can turn on, and this only if it receives also a positive Q or Q signal; if the positive Q or Q signal goes to the other of T34, T38 (not receiving an input 1 at its emitter) then its collectorbase diode conducts; in either case the result is the same, with either T11 being turned on or T12 being turned off for J1, K0, or vice versa for J0, K1. The gating transistors T34, T38 may be multiemitter transistors for several inputs.

Title: Electromagnetic stepping motor system
IPC: H02K37/04
Filed: 1972-10-10
Abstract: 1357270 Control of stepping motors NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO 10 Oct 1972 [12 Oct 1971] 46573/72 Heading H2J [Also in Division H3] In a stepping motor including a stator coil 411 connected between two terminals 405, 437, and an electric circuit for establishing and removing magnetic flux in the motor stator and rotor, the circuit includes a first inductor 399 and switch 407 connected to one terminal 405 and a second inductor 431 and switch 439 connected to the other terminal 437, the inductance of each inductor being greater than that of the coil. In operation, a steady state flux is set up in the stator and rotor by passing current through the coil 411 in one direction by closing switch 407 and opening switch 439. The magnetic flux is subsequently rapidly removed by temporarily opening switch 407 and closing switch 439. The magnetic energy stored in coil 411 and in the stator and rotor is dissipated in switch 407 and the energy stored in inductor 399 causes a reverse current to flow through coil 411 to remove the residual magnetism of the stator and rotor. The inductance of each inductor 399, 431 is about ten times that of coil 411. The two switches shown are transistors capable of dissipating the stored magnetic energy of coil 411 when conducting in the reverse breakdown mode of operation, the voltage at point 405 being held at about 160 volts after transistor 407 is turned off. The transistors may be replaced by other devices capable of dissipating the stored energy of coil 411, e.g. silicon controlled rectifiers, vacuum or gas filled valves, or a mechanical switch, the energy here being dissipated in an arc established between the contacts; a diode may be connected across the contacts. The stepping motor disclosed includes two individual motors whose rotors are interconnected by a torsionally resilient shaft as disclosed in Specification 1,357,269, the respective stator windings being energized through circuits such as that shown, It is stated that the rapid removal of magnetic flux from the magnetic circuits of the respective individual motors, when a step of movement is to commence, reduces losses in the motor and then allows the energy stored in the stressed torsion shaft to be more effectively utilized.

Abstract: 1,205,826. Plucking tufts from fibre bales. LUMMUS COTTON GIN CO. 2 Oct., 1968 [2 Oct., 1967], No. 46821/68. Heading DIN. Tufts of fibres are plucked from the upper surface of at least one stationary bale 12, which is positioned such that the layers of fibres forming the bale extend vertically, by means of a fibre pick-up device 56 moving back and forth over the upper surface and having plucking fans 86, 87 which are so moved that at the time of plucking there is substantially no relative movement of the jaws and the upper surface of the bale in the plane of the surface. A plurality of bales are preferably arranged in rows in bins. The pick-up device 56 is supported by a head frame 52 having trackways 53 along which the device travels. The trackways are themselves reciprocated laterally in channel members arranged at opposite ends of the frame 52 so that successive paths of movement of the plucking jaws are not the same. The jaws 86, 87 are linked together by elements 88 to form a chain-like member 84 passing around sprockets 83 and 92 which are spring urged apart so that non-compressible objects do not damage the jaws. As the chain like member 84 moves around the sprockets it is flexed so opening jaws 86 and 87 which remain closed at other parts of the path of member 84 When passing around sprocket 83 the jaws act to pick up tufts F as shown in Figure 8, the tufts being released from the jaws as they are flexed in passing around sprocket 92 and being removed pneumatically through ducts 103 and 107. When the entire pick-up device moves in direction 108 the member 84 is in the solid line position, but when the pick-up device moves in the opposite direction the member is moved to the dotted line position by pivotal movement brought about by fluid operated pistons 112 and 118, duct 102 then coming into use. Mounted either side of the member 84 are disc or like members 33 which engage the bale surface to prevent the removal of large fibre masses. The members 33 may be adjustably positioned. The pick-up device is reversed upon reaching the end of trackway 53 by a member 172 engaging a head 169 of unit 167 which reverses the direction of rotation of a driving motor and actuates pistons 112 and 118. The frame carrying the device 56 is lowered into position above the bale by energizing a motor 48, and thereafter when unit 167 is actuated motor 48 lowers the device 56 a predetermined distance by means of cables 49 and 51.
